Some updates. I uninstalled FSX and reinstalled it outside of my Programs folder. Seemed to work fine, but pressing Y or Ctrl+S still didn't work. I also did a registry cleaning, but I think that caused some problems as afterwards my Start/Windows button in the corner didn't work, nor did the Windows key on my keyboard, nor did the search box beside the Start button. Last night I restored to an earlier date and now my buttons and search box are working again. Also installed the ENB Series graphics mod, seems to be working but I don't notice any Earth-shattering differences. Everything seems to be working fine at the moment, other than Y and Ctrl+S.
I do have a question about descending and controlling speed. I was doing a flight last night and encountered a common scenario, my co-pilot says "Descend to 12,000 ft." (from 19,000), then a minute later says "Reduce speed to 180 kts." (from 240). Obviously, while descending my speed is increasing, even though I have the throttle at idle. If I try to descend gradually to avoid picking up too much speed I end up overshooting my mark, if I descend quickly I pick up even more speed and then struggle to get whoa'd up. How do you guys manage to descend without losing speed or overshooting your mark?
